****so Confused Guys; Help*******
ok guys, in simple terms, i do'nt know the correct terms, but the tachometer that gives pressure, speed, temp, and etc, what ever its called is all messed up for me. I have 19's and did a stereo upgrade with screen, dvd, subs, and what not, the problem is now my tachometer shuts off after like 30 min of driving. I always leave it on MPH and now after driving it shows me "---- MPH" and i try switching it and stuff but no good.
The wierd thing is that when i turn the car off for a while and start it up, it works again.
The other thing, when i drive for like 50 miles staright my tire pressure icon shows up, that wierd " '(_)' " thing, any explanations.
Nissan told me its cause of my wheels.
???????????????????

First, that is the trip computer. The tachometer is what measures RPM's.
Second, the mileage indicator on the computer has a finite amount of memory, so it will eventually roll over. If you haven't reset it, the mileage will go to 0.0 and then start climbing slowly.
Third, if the DTE (distance to empty) flashes, that means you are running out of gas. When it hits ---, then you are very close to empty and should fill up soon (in theory you have no miles left, but they leave a bit of a safety factor so you aren't actually out of gas at that time, just close).
Finally, the Tire Pressure Sensor (TPS) display shows --- when it is not seeing a signal. If you have 19" wheels and didn't tranfer the TPS to your new wheels, the car will realize that it is not seeing a signal and will show the bars. Either ignore it, or find out if you can install the TPS onto your new wheels. You should also have the little light that looks like a flat tire come on near the fuel and temp gauge.
I think that about covers it.
Good luck!

its trying to get your tire pressure and cant becuase you got new rims and didnt transfer the TPS monitors.
you should be able to click the button though and move away from that screen and back to MPH.
you have to put those TPS things into your 19s somehow for that to stop.
